The claim
U.S. military forces fired a missile into a commercial ship in the Gulf of Oman that was attempting to sail toward an Iranian port, Central Command said, the latest effort to enforce President Trump’s naval blockade.
@washingtonpost.com · May 31, 2026, 8:28 PM ·posted
The finding
True 95% Confident
True. U.S. Central Command confirmed that on May 29, 2026, a U.S. aircraft fired a missile at the engine room of the M/V Lian Star in the Gulf of Oman. The Gambia-flagged cargo ship ignored multiple warnings while attempting to breach the U.S. naval blockade of Iran.
The claim
This just shows how little you know. Conservatives are fine with LEGAL migration. We are tired of ILLEGALS bleeding our system dry. Where was this outrage when the deporter in chief aka Obama deported WAY MORE illegals????
@hisperfecttiming00 · May 31, 2026, 3:44 PM
The finding
Mixed 75% Confident
Partially true. Obama oversaw roughly 3 million formal deportations, earning the "deporter in chief" nickname. However, recent data shows combined removals and border expulsions under Biden and the current administration have matched or exceeded those totals, depending on how they are counted.
The claim
Wait! According to liberals. . . she's [Kamala Harris] black
@marshaford11 · May 31, 2026, 4:27 AM
The finding
Misleading 85% Confident
Misleading. Kamala Harris is Black. She is the daughter of a Black Jamaican father and an Indian mother, and has identified as Black her entire life. She attended a historically Black university and joined a Black sorority. Her identity is widely recognized across the political spectrum.
The claim
Democrats turned Jessie Jackson’s funeral political when they were specifically asked not to.
@rteest1953 · May 31, 2026, 4:22 AM
The finding
Mixed 75% Confident
Misleading. While Jesse Jackson Jr. asked guests to avoid politics, eulogies by Democratic presidents highlighted his civil rights work. This is standard for honoring a lifelong activist, making a strict separation from politics difficult.
The claim
They [gas prices] were constantly over $3.79 in Montana for over 2 years, and we are some of the lowest in the country. But this is how two faced you democrats are. Doesn't higher prices mean less use? And doesn't less use mean less green house games? This is exactly why we dont trust dems, you talk out of both sides…
@bill49442 · May 31, 2026, 4:16 AM
The finding
False 85% Confident
False. Montana gas prices were not constantly over $3.79 for two years. Averages stayed between $2.75 and $3.00 from 2023 to early 2026, only spiking recently. Montana ranks in the middle nationally, not among the lowest. Gulf Coast states consistently have cheaper gas.
The claim
Are you serious? When do you see maga get violent? We may disagree but it’s liberals who get violent, disown friends and family for a difference of opinion, call for conservatives to be killed, celebrate a conservative getting killed, attacks someone for being a conservative, etc! Stop being ignorant and biased and…
@crystal.chapmanhasse · May 31, 2026, 4:11 AM
The finding
Misleading 85% Confident
Misleading. Data shows right-wing extremism has caused most deadly U.S. political violence in recent decades. While a minority of very liberal people report cutting off family over politics, attributing fringe online rhetoric or isolated incidents to all liberals misrepresents the broader evidence.
The claim
Last I checked, Republicans voted to end slavery and segregation while democrats voted against it.
@manmythlegend1982 · May 31, 2026, 3:56 AM
The finding
Misleading 92% Confident
Misleading. While Republicans overwhelmingly backed the 13th Amendment and the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Democrats did not vote against ending segregation. A clear majority of Democrats in Congress supported the 1964 Act. Party coalitions have also shifted significantly since the 1800s.
The claim
The fake attack you mean. The attack where Capitol Police let people in. The first insurgency in history with no firearms involved. This was totally made up by the democrats and there loyal friends in the media. The lies that Liz Cheney told are unconscionable. How about the attacks on our major cities over a loser…
@bill49442 · May 31, 2026, 3:44 AM
The finding
False 92% Confident
False. The Jan. 6 attack is well documented with over 1,000 criminal charges. Capitol Police did not let rioters in, and multiple firearms were seized. George Floyd's death was ruled a homicide by a medical examiner, leading to murder convictions for four officers.
The claim
Democrats cancelling America 's 250th birthday should be ashamed of themselves
@boss888man · May 30, 2026, 10:43 PM
The finding
False 85% Confident
False. There is no evidence Democrats are trying to cancel America's 250th anniversary. Instead, they have criticized the Trump administration for politicizing the celebrations through a new White House group that sidelined the original bipartisan commission.
The claim
Hey democrats, why is ICE a problem for you? They are law enforcement officers. Why do you have a problem with law enforcement? I don’t have a problem with law enforcement because I don’t break the law.
@fred_popple · May 30, 2026, 10:41 PM
The finding
Opinion 90% Confident
Opinion. ICE is a federal law enforcement agency. Democratic views on ICE and policing are diverse, often focusing on specific policies or reforms rather than blanket opposition. Public opinion on law enforcement varies widely across all political groups.
The claim
And this is why we do not trust anything lying democrats say. The cost of gas was well over $4.00 throughout his [Biden’s] presidency.
@bill49442 · May 30, 2026, 8:17 PM
The finding
False 95% Confident
False. National average gas prices were only above $4.00 for about eight months in 2022. For most of the presidency, including 2021, 2023, and 2024, the national average stayed below $4.00, starting near $2.40 and ending around $3.10.
The claim
The courts had no authority to make this decision. The Kennedy Center needs work, now because of the Democrats nothing will be done to improve it. If people were starving and Trump donated food, the Dems would go to court to stop him, that how hateful they are.
@lydiadavis1059 · May 30, 2026, 8:14 PM
The finding
Misleading 85% Confident
Misleading. A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from renaming the Kennedy Center and closing it for two years, citing federal law. The ruling explicitly allows renovations to continue, contradicting claims Democrats stopped improvements. The final sentence is unverifiable hyperbole.
The claim
Blame the Democrats for purposely letting in illegals just so they can cheat in the elections! Ice is doing their job. Just because they were allowed to seek asylum under a false context for Dems crooked agendas doesn't make it ok. Im tired of paying for all the bullshit.
@sttretch_ · May 30, 2026, 8:11 PM
The finding
False 95% Confident
False. Multiple independent investigations and state audits confirm non-citizen voting is illegal and extremely rare, with no evidence it impacts elections. The right to seek asylum is established by long-standing federal law, not a partisan scheme.
The claim
Well, considering the Democrats are at 10% approval rating worldwide and the way things are looking Republicans are set to pick up between 10 and 16 seats in November… I’d say the Democrat gig is up
@bbt12771 · May 30, 2026, 7:36 PM
The finding
False 92% Confident
False. Democrats are a U.S. party with no worldwide approval rating. U.S. polling shows Democratic favorability near 41-45%, not 10%. Forecasters also project Democrats are favored to gain House seats in November, contradicting the claim Republicans will pick up 10 to 16 seats.
The claim
Remember Democrats were the party of the KKK ! Democrats fought against freeing the slaves ! Democrats fought against voting rights for the freed slaves ! Democrats fought against blacks in schools with whites ! HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT ANY DEMOCRAT!
@tombowen7 · May 30, 2026, 7:32 PM
The finding
Misleading 82% Confident
Misleading. While 19th-century Southern Democrats opposed civil rights, the post ignores the major party realignment of the 1930s to 1960s. During this era, the parties swapped positions on civil rights. The modern Democratic Party is ideologically distinct from its 1860s predecessor.
The claim
Bold accusation. Question, do you support the Democrats? You know, the party that says black people are too dumb to get a voter ID, that encourages racial gerrymandering funded the KKK, and basically thrives off of pretending to care and manufacturing outrage about inequality?
@himzyjn · May 30, 2026, 7:29 PM
The finding
False 85% Confident
False. Democrats oppose strict voter ID laws because they argue these rules burden minority voters, not due to beliefs about intelligence. The claim Democrats funded the KKK is false. The group was founded by individuals in the 1860s, not the party. Both parties face gerrymandering accusations.
The claim
You haven’t done one ounce of research, have you? Bacerra is as crooked as they come!!! His chief of staff was just indicted for bank and wire fraud. If you think Bacerra wasn’t fully aware of what was going on, you’re in denial!!!! VOTE RED!!! California is in the shitter due to democrats and their policies!!
@nobody_knows_mehere · May 30, 2026, 7:26 PM
The finding
Mixed 85% Confident
Misleading. Becerra's former chief of staff pleaded guilty to bank and wire fraud. However, prosecutors state the scheme was hidden from him. Court records show conspirators made false statements to conceal the theft, and there is no evidence Becerra knew about it.
The claim
Why do democrats want black only voting districts? Why did they illegally redistrict years ago to have them? I thought y'all were against segregation and they can still vote and vote for who they want to. Why do you feel like you need advantages to win, IE cheat?
@bh_barr321 · May 30, 2026, 7:22 PM
The finding
Misleading 85% Confident
Misleading. These are majority-minority districts, not "black only." They were created legally under the Voting Rights Act with bipartisan support to prevent vote dilution. In the 1990s, Republicans actually pushed for more of these districts to concentrate Democratic voters.
The claim
And you’re speaking for the democrats??? The party of pro homosexuality, pro killing babies, pro men playing in women sports. Pro gender surgery for KIDS, and the republicans are the devil!!?!?👀 lol ok cool.
@eddie_kanejrjr · May 30, 2026, 7:19 PM
The finding
Mixed 85% Confident
Misleading. The post uses loaded rhetoric to describe Democratic policies. While the party supports LGBTQ+ rights and abortion access, it does not endorse 'killing babies.' Youth gender-affirming care focuses on counseling and puberty blockers, with surgery being extremely rare.
